"Five or seven surprise courses off the grill from the Ahime team, low-waste and produce-led, at one of Bologna's most quietly serious tables."
About Uno di questi giorni
Five surprise dishes, EUR 65; seven for EUR 85. Uno di questi giorni opened on Via Santo Stefano 91A as the more ambitious sibling of Ahime, the natural-wine bistro from the same pair, Lorenzo Vecchia and Marco 'Giamma' Bucci. The format is a no-choice tasting that changes constantly, built around the grill and around what the kitchen can source responsibly.
Michelin gives it both a Bib Gourmand, for cooking that over-delivers on price, and a Green Star for sustainability. For the natural-wine, plate-by-plate version of the same philosophy, its sibling Ahime is a few minutes away; for Bologna's single Michelin star, see I Portici.
The Kitchen
The grill does most of the talking. Meat, fish and vegetables all pass over fire, paired with carefully built sauces and a strong no-waste ethos that runs from sourcing to composting. The cooking is precise but unfussy — this is refined Emilian produce cooked over coals, not tweezered fine dining.
You pick five courses (EUR 65) or seven (EUR 85); wine is extra, with a list that leans natural and small-grower in keeping with the Ahime DNA. The kitchen sources intentionally and changes the menu often enough that no two visits repeat.
The Room
The room is small, modern and intimate, with service that is warm but exacting. It seats a handful of tables in the centro storico, a short walk from the Basilica di Santo Stefano, and dinner runs a single nightly turn from 7:30 pm, Monday to Saturday. The intimacy is part of the appeal — it feels like eating at a confident friend's table.
Best for a first date
Uno di questi giorni is a strong first date: small, intimate and conversation-friendly, with a set menu that takes the choosing out of a nervous night. It also rewards an anniversary or thoughtful solo dinner for anyone who trusts the kitchen to drive.
Not for
Not for large groups or picky eaters — it is a small room with a no-choice surprise menu and a single nightly seating.
